Re: 3rd day in Starband-need reassurance

[Guest guest]

MacKenzie slept throught the night last night and when I got her up

today, she was actually chilly, not sweaty. I had only put her in a

onesie, tonight I put her in a terry sleeper. It's not as easy

getting her to nod off, but she just went back to sleep now, and she

had a nap at 6 p.m.. My daycare lady told my DH that she didn't

sleep all day, lol, I guess I am reaping the benefit. We ended up

cancelling with the ortho today. The red spot wasn't there when she

got home from daycare yesterday, it wasn't there when I gave her a

bath last night and I felt even better when it wasn't there when she

woke this morning after her first night in her " bucket " as my boys

call it. Hope things go as well for you tonight!
